Safeguarding Children

Children are the lifeblood of the game and it is crucial that they are cared for in the correct manner. Any player under the age of 18 is classed as a child and should be respected as such.

As a parent you will no doubt want your child to enjoy their involvement in rugby union in a safe, friendly environment where there are opportunities to learn and develop rugby skills whilst also having fun.

Colwyn Bay Rugby Club works with the WRU, member clubs and schools to ensure that young people enjoy rugby union in a constructive environment.

In order to provide young people with the best possible experiences and opportunities in the sport of rugby union, it is imperative that everyone operates within an accepted ethical framework and demonstrates exemplary behaviour.

This not only ensures the game makes a positive contribution to the development of young people, safeguards them and promotes their welfare but also protects all personnel from allegations of abuse or poor practice.

The WRU provides a wide range of advice, policies and guidance notes that will help clubs to operate safely and effectively. You can find further information on their site.

Any queries please contact Leanne Bell, Club Safeguarding Officer.
